Biography

Tom Karlin was an anti-nuclear activist jailed following a protest at the Bangor Trident base. His oral history describes separation from his family and transfers through several facilities.

Ground Zero individually names Tom Karlin among the six state-side participants cited during the March 4, 2013 Bangor action. At a May 7 mitigation hearing, Judge Steven L. Olsen reduced his fine to $25. A roadway citation is not evidence of an overnight jail stay. Source: https://www.gzcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/July-13-newsletter-for-website.pdf#page=2
